The photos on your website are of John Hoblit, son of Michael Johannes Habluzel, along with his wife, Mellicent Seward -- NOT of Michael Johannes Habluzel and Anna Katherina Van Veigle! There were very few photos taken in the 1700's - paintings, yes - but these arephotos. My late husband was a descendant of John Hoblit and Mellicent Seward (cousin to the Seward in A. Lincoln's cabinet).
